In OE: inserting email addresses
Jim Beaver
address book at once and insert the whole list into To: ? Or do they have
to be individually selected?

I don't think it can all go in "to". Only the first name, then you can cc
the rest or bcc. You can set up groups of people but I'm not sure how to do
this. Waiting here to learn more.....

Create a new group and select them all singly .. You'll only need to do
this once, then add new members as and when they get added to your
address list ..

new entry. You will be asked if it is for an individual or for a group
or distribution list. Choose the group or distribution. Give it a name
and add everyone you want to be members. Then when you address the
message just use the name of the group you just created. It will send
to everyone. You might want to consider using the BCC field for groups.
If you put the group in the To field everyone will see all the email
addresses you sent to. By putting it in the BCC they will only see
their own.

Thanx Spider. Sometimes I know how to do it but can't explain it! Bcc I
understand, it's the groups I've never set up.

Thanks. I've created a group from my address book as described. But then
when I finish creating the group and click OK in the Group Creation window,
the list disappears and I can't find it to use it. OE Help has not been
much help. Where do I find the group after creating it? It's not in my
Address Book list of contacts (at least under the name I gave it or Group).

to add the actual email address of each member, the name (above) can be
whatever you want. Click <Add> for each entry. When the group is complete,
_then_ click <ok>. Now you should see your group. And btw, they are all cc
not bcc. I don't know if you can bcc on a group or if you can, how to.

That's the problem. When I click <ok> at the point you describe, I DON'T
see the group. All I see is my complete address book. Where'd the group
go.

case I missed telling you something I did)..........
New>Group
Insert a group name
Place cursor in "Email address"
Enter Email address of first member
Place cursor in "Name" above Email address and insert anything you want.
Click Add.
The group should now show "1 member"
Continue until you have all the members in the group you want, clicking
"Add" after each one.
Then click "ok".
Now when you go in address book, there should be a + nest to your folder
of addresses. Click on the + and your group should appear beneath. In
addition it should be listed in your address book under the group name.
When mailing, in the "To" line, enter the group name and the Email should go
to all members of that group.
That's how I did it and I have tested it out. Email received by all
members.

On the View menu, make sure "Folders and Groups" is selected.

That's what I did. The group showed 244 members when I was done. But
everything you wrote quoted just below here didn't happen. No +, no "Group"
subfolder, nada.

Open up your address book in OE under the "Tools" menu. In the address
book, click on View and make sure there is a check mark next to Folders
and Groups. You should be seeing a list on the left side of the address
book with at least "Shared Contacts" and Identity contacts. If you
click on Identity contacts you should see the name of your group in the
list on the right. If there is a plus mark next to your identity
contacts on the left, click the plus and you should see the groups drop
down under that folder.

Thanks Spider. Hopefully that's cracked it for him. I just sussed it out
myself so can't give more advice than what I did!
